BRIEF: AI Magic or Socialized Risk?

Who will be the bagholder if it goes sideways?

Is the AI boom actually hiding a slowdown?

Discover why today’s soaring optimism around Artificial Intelligence may be masking deeper economic trouble. We learn how recent U.S. GDP growth is being propped up by massive data-center construction, echoing the fragile, infrastructure-driven patterns that preceded the 2008 crash.

You’ll also learn about the emerging productivity paradox: why many AI tools create more “work slop” than real efficiency, delivering little to no measurable ROI. And with trillions in global capital flooding into a handful of AI giants, those firms may soon become “too big to fail,” shifting enormous financial risk onto taxpayers, public debt, and retirement funds.

What’s really powering the AI economy? And who pays if it breaks.

About Weishaupt Strategic Group, LLC (WSG)


Decisions Backed by Intelligence


A lot of people have trouble identifying risk and have no idea where to start. When that happens, they call us. We’re former intelligence officers who help them identify, assess, and mitigate risk so they can protect what matters—their assets, their business, and their reputation.


Every year companies lose millions to unseen risks; whether it’s a deal that hides financial landmines, a competitor moving in the shadows, or a supply chain partner cutting corners. These losses aren’t just numbers on a balance sheet—they can derail strategy, damage reputation, and erode trust. That’s where we come in.


WSG helps businesses and investors uncover the unseen. From high-stakes due diligence to competitive intelligence, corporate investigations, and supply chain risk analysis, our corporate intelligence and investigation services help you manage risk with clarity, credibility, and confidence.


This is where intelligence meets insight; and where government-grade tradecraft meets business decision-making.


As the world's first AI-native Corporate Intelligence and Investigation Agency, we were built from day one using AI as a core capability. We use AI, not as a tool, but as a foundation to make decisions, deliver services, and interact with clients.
